Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2009124658A1] The invention relates to a countersteering automotive rear axle which effects, under the impact of a lateral force onto the wheel on the outside of the bend, which wheel is fastened to a wheel carrier, a rotational movement of said wheel carrier by a virtual axis of spread towards positive toe, the wheel carrier being supported on an axle base which extends substantially in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. Two supporting elements are provided above and below the wheel center, being flexible to torsion but resistant to bending, and are tilted with respect to the vertical direction to the same extent as the virtual axis of spread when seen in a lateral projection. An upper connecting supporting element extends substantially inwardly in the transverse direction of the vehicle and is supported on the wheel carrier and on an upper torsion supporting element which is supported on the axle base with its other end, while a lower connecting supporting element extends substantially in the vertical direction and is supported on the wheel carrier and on a lower torsion supporting element which is supported on the axle base with its other end. The supporting elements are preferably arranged in such a manner and are designed as longitudinal profiles having a preferably U-shaped form that the upper centers of thrust of the upper supporting elements are significantly closer to the axle center than the lower centers of thrust of the lower supporting elements, when seen in the transverse direction of the vehicle.
